If I were an advisor to the Israelis, I would advise them to institute the death penalty for terrorism. As it stands now, every terrorist imprisoned becomes an invitation for Arab terrorist hostage-taking and kidnapping. What's worse, the Israelis lose these exchanges because they value the lives of their people more than the Arabs do theirs. Thus they always give up more terrorists that they get back soldiers and civilians. This is a long-term, slow-motion national suicide attempt.
My idea is that for every person killed or captured by the terrorists, one Arab terrorist should be executed. This is in addition to the efforts to find and wipe out the kidnappers. If you start winning the body-count war against violent terrorists, I'll bet they'll figure out that they are no longer playing a game with the cards stacked in their favor.
As for international opinion, of course they will vilify you. They're doing that already, so what's to lose? And for God's sake don't tell Obama; he'll warn his terrorist brothers.
